Can someone explain why there is velcro on the hood? Is the hood supposed to roll up?

If you're speaking to the velcro strap on the back side o fthe hood it is a volume adjustment. By using the velcro strap you can move the visor higher or lower on your brow for better fit.

Hey Adam, I can't see any Velcro in the photos I'm afraid. However, every single jacket I've seen with Velcro on the hood has two strips of Velcro. One is usually on the outside of the hood located near the seam that joins the hood to the jacket. The other is likely inside the hood also near the jacket/hood seam. This allows one to roll the hood up and stow it in order to avoid having "floppy hood syndrom" whilst on the trail. Hope that helps.
